Remarks

Like the PrintQueue class, this enumeration handles the print queue and the physical printer (or device) as one unit. Some values represent the status of the physical device and others represent the status of the print queue program that is running on the print server.

Use this enumeration to provide values for the QueueStatus property of the PrintQueue class.
